2009 AirPower Over Hampton Roads - F-15 Eagle Demonstration

[@SR71ace]

Transformers music at the beginning. And, F-15 Eagle FTW. Best fighter jet ever.

[@guitarhand]

I agree, no one has taken down an F-15, BUT remember the F-15 is a 40 yr old airframe and there are fighters out there that can take it down, like the Typhoon and most definitely, Sukhoi's Su-27 series. The new V3 AESA definitely brings the Eagle's capabilities above the competition, but what the F-15C Eagle sorely needs are the P&W -229 engines from the Strike Eagle. The -229 produces a combined thrust of 58,000 lbs - over 10,000 more than the -220 the C model uses! Now it's up to the USAF!

[@ManofLaMancha91]

God I love that damn jet! Still amazing, still kickin' ass after almost 40 year's. The -22's got some big shoes to fill.

[@hawkplaya94]

something happen with the right engine on the knife edge or did he not have the right side throttle pushed up all the way?

[@stelthy100]

The F-15 is still one of the best air craft built

[@mikezc128]

What is the song from 5:30 to 5:56?? I need to know asap!

[@sadizy9478]

With the idea of stealth there is no need for large numbers of them. They just need to be strategically placed around the globe and backed up by F-15s and F-16s.

[@YSAirbourne]

@mikezc128 its tricky by Run Dmc

[@ChocolatusPrime]

watch any documentary on the f14, it could target multiple aircraft at the same time from great distances

[@Bergstaller01]

F-15 vs F-22 = quantity over quality

[@ThfWrc]

I think the point is...The US doesn't even see a need to build more F-22's because other countries still can't take down F-15's

[@BuckeyeNation1807]

@ThfWrc nor the f 18 super hornet...

[@7prowl]

@ThfWrc its because of the cost besides in 10 years F-15s go kaput

[@Nastafar]

yeah. why do we need more F-22s (they're cool as shit and I keep going to see them) when no one can shoot down (perhaps) the world's most formidable jet fighter? The Eagle is my favorite plane and it'll be a sad day (albeit in twenty or so years) when they retire it to the boneyard at Davis-Monthan AFB. Love those turkey exhaust nozzles and the brute power and acceleration.

[@ChocolatusPrime]

So could the F14 and it was even older
